'Can we swap Welbeck for Rashford?' - Twitter reacts to dramatic debut double

The 18-year-old striker netted a remarkable double on his debut for the Old Trafford club, seeing the Red Devils through against Midtjylland, turning around a first-leg deficit.

EXTRA TIME
After beginning the night 2-1 down to FC Midtjylland from the first leg of the Europa League clash and with Anthony Martial limping out of the warm-up with a hamstring injury, things were looking worrying for Manchester United.

Martial was replaced by Marcus Rashford, with the 18-year-old thrust into his first competitive match after a smattering of Under-21 and Under-18 appearances and the youngster proceeded to instigate a remarkable turnaround, blowing away the Danish side, which went 1-0 up, and netting two goals in a 4-1 win.
